Germany's government has announced the implementation of temporary controls at all land borders in response to irregular migration and to enhance security measures against extremist threats. The Interior Minister stated that the move aims to strengthen internal security and maintain a firm stance against irregular migration.

The order includes setting up border controls at land borders with France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark for a period of six months, starting on September 16. This decision complements existing restrictions at borders with Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Switzerland.
